Bibliography Validation

LIBRARY-FIRST RULE: ALWAYS cross-reference cited keys against Paperpile (paperpile search-library) during validation. This catches drift between the .bib file and the reference manager. See the Reference Manager Cross-Reference section.

Output Path

Per rules/review-artefact-routing.md (auto-loads in research projects (path-scoped to paper-*/ and paper/)):

• Source slug: bib-validate
• Write reports to: reviews/<paper-slug>/bib-validate/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM>.md inside the project (where <paper-slug> is the paper directory slug, e.g., paper-jtp, paper-philtech). Path is relative to the research project root, not the Task-Management repo.
• Never at project root (./CRITIC-REPORT.md-style filenames are forbidden — pre-rule layout).
• Idempotency: if today's file exists, append a same-day descriptor ({date}-revision.md, {date}-r2.md, {date}-pre-submission.md) — never overwrite.
• Index update: if reviews/INDEX.md exists, write a one-line entry under "Latest per source" pointing at the new file. Otherwise /review-recap will rebuild the index next time it runs.
• Infrastructure repos (Task-Management, atlas-workspace, etc.): this section does not apply — the path-scoped rule won't load there.
